Starting your own business or franchise an existing one?

Both options are great ways of becoming your own boss. With the Franchise option alot of the hard work has been done for you as the brand will probably be well known and you should get a customer base straight away. Starting your own business from scratch can be hard work as there are lots of things to do before you get a customer base.

That would actually be great, I always thought about opening a daycare facility, but unfortunately it takes time and money in order to establish a business and I don't have either of it. But a friend of mine has already opened two of them and she gets a good amount of profit. I hope that one day I could establish a business of my own so that I could be my own boss and hopefully it'll be a daycare.

this is a question that i am really trying to figure out. i believe i can go and start a business. but i am confused as to starting a totally new one or franchising an established business. i have asked several of my friends who have a business. they told me that franchising is a conventional way of starting a business. it is one way of grasping the business culture and ropes of managing a business. i think i will have one day a franchise.

Both are wonderful options, so one might think. But I'd choose the third - partnering with a multi-billion dollar company with a start up cost of virtually nothing. I'm in such a place now. PM me should you want to know more.

I would like to secure a franchise especially in businesses involving foods. For those who have little capital, it would be an advantage to them. Other than food business, I would like to have something of my own.

I would love to start a business, where I could just make money for doing what I love!!! If I did start a business it would be selling miniature war game pieces! That would be one of my dreams!
